Bill Gates backs computer cell phone
Microsoft founder and Chairman Bill Gates believes cell phones are a better way than laptops to bring computing to the masses in developing nations. This all comes after the $100 laptop couldn't strike a deal with Mircrosoft, so they had to do something. It seems that Microsoft executives are just showing an alternative to a product they have no part in.
"Everyone is going to have a cell phone," Mundie told the paper, noting that in places where televisions are already common, a phone could be turned into a computer with a cheap adaptor and keyboard. Microsoft has not said how much those products would cost. The proposal is an answer to a plan by Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory, who in November unveiled his prototype for a $100 laptop computer that could help bring computers to hundreds of millions of mostly-poor students worldwide.
